Sorry about the wait for this chapter. I've been kind of busy. But here it is, enjoy!
Chapter 7- Soulbloom
The caravan of automobiles, lead by Bishamon, pulled up to a makeshift camp of tents, structures made of mostly dry wall, and vans. A few fires were going, and as the caravan pulled up, an older woman dressed in simple robes emerged from a tent and hurried over to the vans.
?????: Did you find anything this time?
Bishamon: Sure did: we hit the jackpot. Enough food for a few months, at least.
?????: Good job... any injuries?
Bishamon: Nope.
Zaraki:
Bishamon: Oh yeah! Almost forgot. We were ambushed by two arrancar who at least claimed to be the 7th and 8th Espada.
?????: WHAT??! How could you forget about THAT!? That means Aizen knows of our location!! Please tell me you at least killed them!
Bishamon: Wellll..... they kind of escaped using negaccion......
?????: Oh god... at least no one was injured.
Bishamon: Welllllll........
?????: Oh god...... Please tell me it's not serious.
Bishamon: O_O *points to Akira, who's slumped down on the ground, completely pale, and drooling all over the place*
?????: Please tell me he's dehydrated or something...
Bishamon: Mmm, not exactly. The "7th Espada" did this to him with his shikai. He said that he's leeched away part of Akira's soul. You can fix it, right, Retsu?
Retsu: Sh*t.
Elsewhere, in the Adirondack Mountains, the caravan containing Elias, Rag, and Kaze pulled up to their camp.
Elias: Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Ragnaroc: >.< Shut the hell up, or I'm going to punch you so hard, your spine will bend all the way around, and all you'll be able to smell is your own a**. You got that? Or do you want to smell a** constantly for the rest of your life?
Elias: o.o
Kaze: o.o
Ragnaroc: And yes, we're there. U_U
The group of vans was greeted by a large group of shinigami, who all looked rather hungry. At the front of the crowd was a middle-aged man with purple hair and yellow eyes.
He spoke.
?????: Hmmm, Elias, Ragnaroc, have you brought back food with you this time? Or have you both failed once more?
Kaze: *thinks: Why'd he just ask Elias and Rag, and not me? O_O*
Ragnaroc: Yes, Mayuri, we've brought food back this time. We found enough for a few months, but we met some resistance.
Mayuri: ....What kind of... resistance?
Ragnaroc: Arrancar resistance. The 4th Espada. Kaze managed to behead him from behind.
Mayuri: Damn!! Aizen knows of our position now. We have to get out of here as fast as physically possible and.... wait, did you say KAZE? KAZE killed him? I doubt it.
Kaze: -.- It's true; I did kill him.
Mayuri: Decapitation is not necessarily a kill with Espada. Tell me, what was the nature of his resurreccion?
Elias: Some weird third-eye mind thing. He could create multiple black raitsu blades out of thin air and control them with his mind, he could create black raitsu shields, and he could 'see' our raitsu with this weird third-eye that he grew.
Mayuri: Like I said: decapitation isn't necessarily a kill. He was most likely holding back on you just to get information. You might've chopped off his head, but with a mindpower such as that Espada's, it's likely that his mind has rooted him to life. Meaning he can't be killed unless you destroy his body, or destroy his mind.
Ragnaroc: Crap O_O
Mayuri: Crap indeed.
Back at the camp of Bishamon and Akira, Retsu was diagnosing Akira's condition.
Retsu passed a light over Akira's eye, and performed some complex kido spells.
Bishamon: *eating a carrot* So, what's the diagnosis, doc? O_O *nibble*
Retsu: The damage isn't too significant, but it's definitely there, and unless we do something, his soul's going to stay like that and most likely slowly decay into nothingness.
Bishamon: You can do something about it, though, can't you?
Retsu: *sigh* I can't here. In order to cure something like this, I'll need a rare herb that exists in only one place on this planet. With it, I can create a small amount of a potion that can cure anything. The herb is called "Soulbloom".
Bishamon: Alright, well, where does the herb grow?
Retsu: That's the problem... it only grows at the top of Mount Fuji.
Bishamon: Mount Fuji, Japan?!? O.O
Retsu: Of course Mount Fuji, Japan. What, you thought I was talking about Mount Fuji, Texas??!
Bishamon: ....I know a way we can get there. But there's a catch.
Retsu: What's the catch?
Bishamon: I need to use my bankai to do it.
Meanwhile, a fierce battle was raging in the arctic. An older shinigami with blonde hair wrapped in green and black garments was fighting a younger arrancar with long, spikey black hair.
The shinigami had released his shikai, and the arrancar his resurreccion.
Both unleashed flurries of slashes augmented by flash steps upon one another, exchanging blasts of raitsu in between. Eventually, it appeared the arrancar was slowly gaining an edge. The shinigami was knocked back and stumbled. He flash stepped back out of range, and panted a little.
?????: What's wrong, shinigami? Not quite what you used to be?
?????: It's not that; I've just been out of practice for a while. But soon you won't have to deal with me: you'll be dead. Benihime, Bankai.
?????: O.O
END OF CHAPTER 7
Next chapter: All the shinigami feel the raitsu explosion of the mysterious arctic warrior's bankai!
Bishamon and Retsu debate whether or not to risk the usage of bankai, and come to a decision!
Dum dum DUMMMMMM!!
